Logan Paul ranks among the most exemplary names in the world of boxing and YouTube. He broke into the limelight by uploading vlogs on his channel and doing quirky activities. In no time, the Ohio native gained attention from millions of fans and his subscriber base increased extensively.

That said, ‘The Maverick’ was well acquainted with pulling off bizarre stunts that were worth noticing. But once in 2017, the YouTuber faced a tremendous amount of criticism for posting a video, wherein he showed a body of a suicide victim, at the base of Mount Fuji in Japan.

Recently, Logan Paul was in a chat with Ariel Helwani. Here, he spoke about that anecdote and revealed how it changed him.

“It’s very fair. I’ve never said this before and I don’t know if this is a bit taboo. But I often look back at that time of my life and the person that I was unfortunately becoming.”

“And now, at 26, I can safely say that Japan was the biggest blessing in my life. I needed a reset. I needed life to check me, and it did. And I became a person that I ended up loving, instead of becoming that jacka**, because I was headed down a nasty path.” he added.
